Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of goods batch differentiation, and specifically refers to a system for intelligently distinguishing goods batches and a method for using the system. Background Art

[0002] In my country, with the rapid development of online sales, the logistics industry is also developing rapidly, and a large number of goods need to be transported by logistics. However, in the process of logistics transportation, different batches of the same goods often need to be stored in the warehouse. In this way, the goods need to be divided into different batches before they are stored in the warehouse. In the existing technology, it is necessary to manually observe the batch information on the outer surface of the logistics box with the naked eye and then distinguish them. When manually distinguishing batches of goods, a common problem is that only 1-2 sides of the outer surface of the logistics box generally have batch information, and it is necessary to manually turn over the logistics boxes one by one to find the batch information and then distinguish them. Due to the large number of logistics boxes in the warehouse, relying solely on manual operations to complete the distinction operation is a huge workload for operators, which will greatly increase labor costs. In addition, manual operations are prone to errors in distinction, especially when the operator is tired, the possibility of this situation will greatly increase. Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to solve the technical problem in the prior art that batches of goods need to be distinguished manually, the present invention provides a system for intelligently distinguishing batches of goods and a method for using the system.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0005] A system for intelligently distinguishing batches of goods, comprising a turntable, a plurality of conveyor belts and a scanning device for scanning batch numbers of goods, wherein the scanning device comprises a scanning door and a flip scanning mechanism;

[0006] The conveyor belt includes a conveyor input belt and the rest are conveyor output belts;

[0007] The output end of the conveyor input belt passes through the code scanning door and faces the turntable; the flip code scanning mechanism is located between the output end of the conveyor input belt and the turntable;

[0008] The barcode scanning door includes a top plate, which is located above the conveyor input belt and parallel to the conveyor input belt. An upper barcode scanning gun for scanning the upper end surface of the cargo box is fixed on the end surface of the top plate facing the conveyor input belt;

[0009] A left side plate is fixed vertically downward on the left side of the top plate, and a left barcode scanner for scanning the left end surface of the cargo box is fixed on the end surface of the left side plate facing the conveyor input belt;

[0010] A right side plate pointing vertically downward is fixed to the right side of the top plate, and a right barcode scanner for scanning the right end surface of the cargo box is fixed to the end surface of the right side plate facing the conveyor input belt.

[0011] The barcode scanning door automatically completes the scanning of the upper, left and right ends of the logistics box through the settings of the upper barcode scanning gun, the left barcode scanning gun and the right barcode scanning gun;

[0012] The flip code scanning mechanism includes a flip bracket, a flip motor is fixed on the outside of the flip bracket, the output end of the flip motor passes through the flip bracket and is fixed with a rotating shaft with transparent blades, and the rotating shaft is located on the inside of the flip bracket;

[0013] An upper plate is provided above the rotating shaft, and the upper plate is fixedly connected to the inner side of the flip bracket; a rear barcode scanner for scanning the rear end of the cargo box is fixed on the end surface of the upper plate facing the rotating shaft; the rear barcode scanner is located between the flip bracket and the turntable;

[0014] A lower plate is provided below the rotating shaft, and the lower plate is fixedly connected to the inner side of the flip bracket; a lower barcode scanner for scanning the lower end surface of the cargo box and a front barcode scanner for scanning the front end surface of the cargo box are fixed on the end surface of the lower plate facing the rotating shaft; the lower barcode scanner is located between the flip bracket and the conveyor input belt; the front barcode scanner is located between the flip bracket and the turntable.

[0015] When the logistics box enters the flipping scanning mechanism and is located above the lower scanning gun, the lower scanning gun can scan the lower end surface of the logistics box through the transparent blade. Then, the flipping motor drives the logistics box to flip clockwise to face the front end and the rear end upward. Then, the front scanning gun completes the scanning of the front end surface of the logistics box, and the rear scanning gun completes the scanning of the rear end surface of the logistics box. In this way, the scanning of all the external end surfaces of the logistics box is completed.

[0016] Furthermore, a plurality of conveyor belts are arranged in an array in the circumferential direction of the turntable; the input end of the conveyor output belt faces the turntable. The conveyor belts are arranged in an array, which facilitates the numbering and management of each conveyor belt.

[0017] Furthermore, the upper end surface of the turntable is inlaid with a plurality of conveyor rollers for conveying goods to the conveyor output belt; the conveyor rollers are distributed in a radial array of the turntable. When the logistics box is poured from the transparent blade to the upper end surface of the turntable, the conveyor rollers convey the logistics box from the outer side to the inner side of the turntable. When the logistics box moves from the upper end surface of the turntable to the conveyor output belt, the conveyor rollers convey the logistics box from the inner side to the outer side of the turntable and convey it to the conveyor output belt.

[0018] Furthermore, a first infrared transmitter is provided on the left side of the conveyor input belt, and a first infrared receiver is provided on the right side of the conveyor input belt; the first infrared transmitter and the first infrared receiver are both located at the output end of the conveyor input belt and are arranged face to face; the height positions of the first infrared transmitter and the first infrared receiver are both higher than the position of the conveyor input belt.

[0019] When the logistics box enters the flipping and scanning mechanism from the conveyor input belt, the logistics box will first block the first infrared receiver from receiving the signal from the first infrared transmitter, indicating that the logistics box is entering the flipping and scanning mechanism from the conveyor input belt.

[0020] Furthermore, a second infrared transmitter is provided on the left side of the transparent blade, and a second infrared receiver is provided on the right side of the transparent blade; the second infrared transmitter and the second infrared receiver are both located between the conveyor input belt and the flip bracket and are arranged face to face; the height positions of the second infrared transmitter and the second infrared receiver are both higher than the position when the transparent blade is in a horizontal state.

[0021] When the second infrared receiver is blocked from receiving the signal from the second infrared transmitter, and the first infrared receiver resumes receiving the signal from the first infrared transmitter, it indicates that the logistics box has completely entered the flipping and scanning mechanism from the conveyor input belt.

[0022] Furthermore, a plurality of baffles are fixed to the upper end surface of the turntable, and the baffles are arranged in an array in the circumferential direction of the turntable, and the baffles divide the upper end surface of the turntable into a plurality of areas of the same shape;

[0023] Each area is inlaid with a conveying roller, and the conveying rollers in the same area are connected to the same three-phase asynchronous motor, which is built inside the turntable; the three-phase asynchronous motor drives the conveying roller to rotate forward or reverse;

[0024] A rotating motor is fixed at the bottom of the turntable, and the rotating motor drives the turntable to rotate.

[0025] The three-phase asynchronous motor drives and controls the forward and reverse rotation of the conveyor roller. When the logistics box enters the turntable from the flip scanning mechanism, the three-phase asynchronous motor drives the conveyor roller to rotate forward and convey the logistics box to the top of the turntable; when the logistics box enters the conveyor output belt from the turntable, the three-phase asynchronous motor drives the conveyor roller to rotate reversely and convey the logistics box to the conveyor output belt.

[0026] Furthermore, it also includes a PLC controller and a host computer;

[0027] The transmission input belt, rotating motor, flipping motor and three-phase asynchronous motor are all connected to the PLC controller;

[0028] The PLC controller, the first infrared receiver, the second infrared receiver, the upper barcode scanner, the left barcode scanner, the right barcode scanner, the rear barcode scanner, the lower barcode scanner and the front barcode scanner are all connected to the computer host.

[0029] The PLC controller is used to control the operation of the conveyor input belt, rotating motor, flip motor and three-phase asynchronous motor. The host computer is used to record the batch number collected by scanning, and compare the batch number with the pre-set number of each conveyor output belt to determine whether to transfer the logistics box from the turntable to the conveyor output belt.

[0030] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: a logistics box is conveyed through a scanning door by a conveyor input belt for the first scanning; the logistics box is then conveyed to the flip scanning mechanism by the conveyor input belt and the logistics box is flipped, thereby completing the second scanning; through two scanning operations, the operation of scanning all the outer surfaces of the logistics box is completed, thereby automatically obtaining the batch number of the goods, and there is no need to manually confirm the batch number of the logistics boxes one by one. Labor is liberated and the cost of logistics is reduced. In addition, the method of automatically scanning the batch number to obtain the batch number avoids the phenomenon of distinguishing the wrong number during manual operation.

[0031] A method for using a system for intelligently distinguishing batches of goods, including a system for intelligently distinguishing batches of goods, and the method for using the system includes:

[0032] S1. Number each area above the turntable and number each conveyor output belt;

[0033] S2. Place any end of the logistics box with the cargo batch number facing upward on the conveyor input belt for transmission, and at the same time, any area above the turntable faces the output end of the conveyor input belt;

[0034] S3. When the logistics box passes through the code scanning door, the upper code scanning gun, the left code scanning gun and the right code scanning gun simultaneously scan the upper end surface, the left end surface and the right end surface of the logistics box;

[0035] S4, the logistics box is transferred to the upper end surface of the transparent blade between the flip motor and the conveyor input belt; when the second infrared receiver cannot receive the signal of the second infrared transmitter and the first infrared receiver receives the signal of the first infrared transmitter, the lower barcode scanner scans the lower end surface of the logistics box and the flip motor starts the first countdown through the PLC controller; at the same time, the conveyor input belt stops working;

[0036] S5, the flip motor completes the first countdown, the output shaft of the flip motor rotates 90 degrees clockwise, the logistics box is rotated to between the flip motor and the turntable and the second countdown begins; at this time, the front end of the logistics box faces the front barcode scanner and the front barcode scanner scans the front end of the logistics box, the rear end of the logistics box faces the downward barcode scanner and the downward barcode scanner scans the rear end of the logistics box;

[0037] S6, the flip motor completes the second countdown, and the output shaft of the flip motor rotates 90 degrees clockwise to tip the logistics box downward to an area above the turntable;

[0038] At the same time, the six end faces of the logistics box are scanned, the batch number of the logistics box is obtained, and the computer host binds the batch number with the area number;

[0039] S7, the rotary motor drives the turntable to rotate, rotates the logistics box to the input end of each conveyor output belt, and the computer host compares the batch number with the conveyor output belt number;

[0040] When the batch number is consistent with the conveyor output belt number, the three-phase asynchronous motor corresponding to the area number bound to the batch number drives the conveyor roller to rotate toward the outside of the turntable, conveying the logistics box to the conveyor output belt, and then the conveyor output belt conveys the logistics box out.

[0041] Further, in S7, when the rotary motor drives the turntable to rotate, the conveyor input belt resumes normal operation. When the rotary motor drives the turntable to rotate, it indicates that the logistics box has entered the top of the turntable, and the conveyor input belt can convey the subsequent logistics box to scan the code.

[0042] Further, S7, when the batch number is compared with the conveyor output belt number and the conveyor output belt at the end of the arrangement sequence is compared, the three-phase asynchronous motor corresponding to the area number bound to the batch number drives the conveyor roller to rotate toward the outside of the turntable, and the logistics box is conveyed to the conveyor output belt, and then the logistics box is conveyed out by the conveyor output belt. When the logistics box completes the code scanning on both sides, but does not obtain the batch number or obtains the batch number but does not match the corresponding conveyor output belt number, it will be conveyed out from the conveyor output belt at the end of the arrangement sequence, so that the batch number can be manually checked to distinguish or the code scanning process can be repeated.

[0074] A method for using a system for intelligently distinguishing batches of goods, including a system for intelligently distinguishing batches of goods, and the method for using the system includes:

[0075] S1, numbering each area above the turntable 1, and numbering each conveyor output belt 6;

Place any end face of the logistics box with the cargo batch number facing upward on the conveyor input belt 5 for transmission, and at the same time, any area above the turntable 1 faces the output end of the conveyor input belt 5; there is no need to consider which side is facing upward, and the logistics box can be directly placed on the conveyor input belt 5. The operation is simple and greatly saves the time for placing the logistics box.

[0077] S3, when the logistics box passes through the code scanning door, the upper code scanning gun 32, the left code scanning gun 34 and the right code scanning gun 36 simultaneously scan the upper end surface, the left end surface and the right end surface of the logistics box;

[0078] S4, the logistics box is conveyed to the upper end surface of the transparent blade 43 between the flip motor 42 and the conveyor input belt 5; when the second infrared receiver 54 does not receive the signal of the second infrared transmitter 53 and the first infrared receiver 52 receives the signal of the first infrared transmitter 51, the lower barcode scanner 48 scans the lower end surface of the logistics box and the flip motor 42 starts the first countdown through the PLC controller; at the same time, the conveyor input belt 5 stops working;

[0079] S5, the flip motor 42 completes the first countdown, the output shaft of the flip motor 42 rotates 90 degrees clockwise, the logistics box is rotated to between the flip motor 42 and the turntable 1 and the second countdown begins; at this time, the front end of the logistics box faces the front barcode scanner 49 and the front barcode scanner 49 scans the front end of the logistics box, and the rear end of the logistics box faces the downward barcode scanner 48 and the downward barcode scanner 48 scans the rear end of the logistics box;

[0083] When the batch number is consistent with the conveyor output belt 6 number, the three-phase asynchronous motor corresponding to the area number bound to the batch number drives the conveyor roller 7 to rotate toward the outside of the turntable 1, and conveys the logistics box to the conveyor output belt 6, and then the conveyor output belt 6 conveys the logistics box out.

[0084] When the rotary motor 9 drives the turntable 1 to rotate, the conveyor input belt 5 resumes normal operation. When the rotary motor 9 drives the turntable 1 to rotate, it means that the logistics box has entered the top of the turntable 1, and the conveyor input belt 5 can convey the subsequent logistics box to scan the code.

[0085] When the batch number is compared with the conveyor output belt 6 number and the conveyor output belt 6 at the end of the arrangement sequence is matched, the three-phase asynchronous motor corresponding to the area number bound to the batch number drives the conveyor roller 7 to rotate toward the outside of the turntable 1, and the logistics box is conveyed to the conveyor output belt 6, and then the logistics box is conveyed out by the conveyor output belt 6. When the logistics box completes the code scanning on both sides, but does not obtain the batch number or obtains the batch number but does not match the corresponding conveyor output belt 6 number, it will be conveyed out from the conveyor output belt 6 at the end of the arrangement sequence, so that the batch number can be manually checked and distinguished or the code scanning process can be repeated.
